The transformation of education in tourism is conceived as a dynamic process that integrates innovation, participatory methodologies and digital technologies, aimed at promoting comprehensive training. The objective of this review article is to analyse educational innovation and training in tourism for sustainable and inclusive development. Through a literature review of 25 scientific studies, pedagogical trends, the integration of environmental sustainability and emotional education are examined. The results show that tourism training goes beyond the transmission of technical knowledge, requiring a comprehensive development that combines critical skills, digital competences and an ethical commitment to diversity and the environment. Likewise, the need to implement innovative methodologies and formative evaluation systems that enhance participation and educational transformation is highlighted, thus guaranteeing the training of professionals capable of responding to contemporary challenges.
